Polyurethane and Related Foams: Chemistry and Technology is an
in-depth examination of the current preparation, processing, and
applications of polyurethanes (PURs) and other polymer foams.
Drawing attention to novel raw materials, alternative blowing
agents, and new processing methods, the book accentuates recent
innovations that meet increasingly stringent environmental and fire
safety regulations as well as higher quality products.
Written by Dr. Kaneyoshi Ashida, a renowned pioneer of
polyisocyanurate (PIR) foams, the book details the fundamental
chemistry and material properties for each category of foams. The
author presents mechanisms for chemical modification and foaming
reactions, emphasizing the relationship between molecular design
and enhanced physical properties. The latter half of the book
focuses on polyurethane foams, the largest segment of the
polyisocyanate-based foam industry. It contains a fully updated
description of the chemistry, raw materials, manufacturing,
formulations, analyses, and testing involved in producing a wide
variety of progressive applications, including building
materials.
This book chronicles the scientific and technological evolution
of preparation and processing methods for polyisocyanate-based
foams. Polyurethane and Related Foams: Chemistry and Technology
offers a clear and concise guide to the technologies, methods, and
best practices that help the foam industry meet higher quality,
health, and environmental standards.
